Arvo Pärt’s Our Garden is a piece with a smile on its face – lively, jaunty and dramatic. It was written expressly for children to sing, and was one of the composer’s earliest works, before his aesthetic had settled into the more meditative style we know him by today. At this concert it’s performed by local children’s choirs, with singing mentors from the National Youth Choir joining the team as well as a small ensemble of professional musicians. The piece will be performed alongside selections from Pärt’s other work for children’s choir Songs from Childhood.

This concert will have a BSL interpreter and will be great for families.

Featuring the UK premiere of a new arrangement of Our Garden for ensemble by Tauno Aints.

Part of 90 Years of Arvo Pärt: A Reflection, staged with the collaboration of the Arvo Pärt Centre, Estonian Embassy in London and the Estonian Ministry of Culture.
